"JOGGABLE" ELECTRONIC ANTI-SKIP PROTECTION

This CD player is equipped with an automatic “Joggable” 45 second Electronic Anti-Skip Memory and an Anti-Rolling Mechanism that will eliminate virtually all skipping under normal conditions. The joggable anti-skip circuitry provides a much faster recovery time than previous anti-skip systems. The recovery time is shorter than the time between steps for the average jogger. This means that you can carry this unit while you are jogging and still enjoy skip free music. When you press the PLAY/PAUSE ▶ button to begin playback the player immediately begins to store 45 seconds of music in a solid state memory that is impervious to shock. The player is always reading the disc 45 seconds ahead of the music you are hearing and storing that information in the memory. If the player is subjected to shock or bumps of less than 45 seconds duration you will not notice them at all. If the bumps last longer than 45 seconds the anti-skip memory may be depleted and the player may skip or stop.

When playback begins the Joggable Anti-Skip indicator begins to flash rapidly in the display. When the Anti-Skip memory contains 45 seconds of music and is "full", the indicator flashes slowly. If the player is bumped or shaken the indicator again flashes rapidly. The player may skip if the bumps continue. When

the bumps stop the memory starts to fill up again and the flashing indicator will slow down.

The Joggable Anti Skip System does use additional battery power. Therefore if you are using this player in a stable location where it will not be subject to bumps and shocks, press the ASP button to switch the anti-skip circuitry 'Off'. The "joggable" indicator will disappear. This will reduce battery drain and prolong battery life.

Note: Each time you begin playing a disc the joggable anti-skip system will turn 'On' automatically.

CONNECTION TO AN EXTERNAL AUDIO SYSTEM

You can connect this CD player to a home stereo system, receiver, amplifier, or recorder if desired. Connect the LINE OUT jack of this CD player to the Left/Right Auxiliary Inputs, Line Inputs, or Record Inputs of the external device. The connection cable is NOT included. Set the DBBS(Bass Boost) switch of this CD player to the "OFF" position. Be sure to follow the external source connection instructions for the other equipment as well.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE CABINET

Wipe with a soft cloth. If the cabinet is very dirty, dampen the cloth with a weak solution of neutral detergent and water, and then wipe clean.

CLEANING THE LENS

A dirty lens will cause sound skipping and, if the lens is very dirty, the CD may not work. Open the disc cover and clean the lens as follows:

DUST OR DRY PARTICLES

Using a camera lens brush/blower, blow on the lens several times, then wipe it lightly with the brush to remove dust. Then, blow on the lens once more.
